Wrangellian Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 Nice report, Gery, I agree with the other comments. I like that little bivalve with the long 'neck'. I spotted the ammo right away in your 3rd pic (I assumed it would be near the middle). I wonder if Foozil found another one that you didn't notice, or did you see it and it was only a rock? I have 2 small ammonites that were bought in a fossil shop years ago when I was a kid, with labels that say "Riviere s/Tarn, France (Toarcian)". This must be the same location, since you say it is famous? Or are there other spots on the river besides the one you visited that could be described as 'Riviere-sur-Tarn' also?

ynot Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 That is a beautiful place to collect and some nice finds too! Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys."

nala Posted August 4, 2017 Author Share Posted August 4, 2017 Thanks for the comments,i think there were only one on the picture,there are many other Toarcian sites near Millau and there is the Clapier in the northern part of Lozère but it's in a protected area and pyritized fossils are only deseapear in dust in these location or you have the risk to see the guards,few more field picts and clean finds 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crabfossilsteve Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 Boy what a great haul of ammonites. I really think the spider web effect of "calcite" on the surface of some of those ammonites very cool. I'd be inclined to leave of one them unprepped like that.

nala Posted August 5, 2017 Author Share Posted August 5, 2017 Thanks crabfossilsteve,i prep the less possible my samples,i prefer also the natural aspect 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plantguy Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 Hey Gery, nice to see the latest photos and finds. that one ammo reminded me of a Phylloceras I found a very long time ago--I'm pretty sure thats not the right genus for yours but it brought back some good memories. I wish we had some terrain like that around here. Regards, Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
